I want my fans to understand life isn’t perfect, and this is how I make my music. The feeling my music gives is a reflection of the emotions I create with.”

He creates the audio foundation that pushes others to conquer the day. 

Natalee Gilbert got the opportunity to speak with Ronny Dewwy. You can read the entire conversation below:

Who is Ronny Dewwy?

Ronny Dewwy is a movement. Ronny is me. My first name is Ronald. Dewwy is an acronym. It stands for Doing Everything While We’re Young. This is simply what I’m living to do and stand by. To “do everything while we’re young.” Young is a mindset. This doesn’t have correlations with age. Young is a mindset with feelings of confidence, perseverance, and longevity.

What drew you to music?

What drew me to music was the church. In my church, I learned how to play the drums. Every Sunday, the guitarist at my church would play the same chords to every song. This just agitated me and made me want to discover more about creating and manipulating the sounds of music. If I could somehow just program and have control of these sounds, I knew I’d be eager to learn more. My hunger led to my brother gifting me my first MacBook. This changed the game once I discovered GarageBand. Over time I’ve upgraded.

Your favorite song to produce thus far?

One of my favorite songs I’ve produced thus far is “Been A Minute” by Boston recording artist, Enemy Of The Fake. This song is full of many emotions and meanings. This past year has been a complete rock bottom for both of us. But, after his mother’s loss, Enemy Of The Fake has been bouncing back. 

This song almost represents a milestone of the year and a statement of return. But, it goes deeper than music. Sitting in this session wasn’t easy for me. My dawg had me crying tears for real in the studio. All the pain and emotion you could hear. My dawg and I have been through some things, but this one hit me differently. 

One of your most significant accomplishments:

One of my most significant accomplishments thus far has been collaborating with 40+ producers worldwide. This is the beginning. Right now, we’re just growing and planting seeds daily.

What or who are you inspired by?

One of my biggest inspirations is Timbaland and Kanye West. These two artists and producers had a unique use of percussion, which drew me into their production. This is something I try to master and specialize in as well. In a well-produced song, the drums have to hit. 

Favorite musician to work with & why?

One of my favorite musicians to work with might be @prodbygarne. He is a producer from Italy and truly is a genius. For the past seven months, Garne and I have been working non-stop. Italy is six hours ahead of me here in Boston, Massachusetts. This makes working with Garne very serious. 

We’ve been making beats via zoom for the last few months, and to watch the growth is impressive. A younger producer who is just as hungry as me allows me to stay on my toes. Every day we strive to get better. Thanks to Garne, my production has drastically improved. It’s almost like we compete. He sends me a few beats, and then I have to respond with something crazy. 

What song did you have the most fun making?

Recently I just recorded a song, “Na Via,” which will be released soon, and this was fun. This song was recorded by @priinceneves & @pika_m2. The song is mainly recorded in Cape Verdean Creole. This song was fun to record because I was in the session. We chose this beat while chillin in the car. Immediately this vibe caught Prince’s attention; he ran back into the studio and did the hook. 

I witnessed this life which makes it interesting. I don’t speak this language, but I definitely could understand vibrations. Music is a form of communication, so we don’t have to speak the same language to be understood. This song is so catchy that I started learning a little about Cape Verdean Creole. This was fun to create because @prodbygarne helped organize the instrumentation. This kid is an international genius. He allowed this magic to happen. With his Italian ear for music, we can have great chemistry to make dope records like this one. 

Theme song:

J.Cole – “Premeditated Murder.” 

“Keep grinding, boy. Your life can change in one year.”

Advice for new producers:

Don’t stress or focus on placements. Instead, find a group of producers to build and get better with. Think about it like school. This is a great way to learn when working in a competitive group setting.

 Make producers around you better, and placements come along eventually. This is a great way to gain feedback and a great support system. I’ve gained significant support and advice from producers around the world.
